Nice stay for a nights break.

Zara Couples - 4/16/2025 Confirmed reviews ALL

The mercure is located well in the town centre. The staff upon arrival and departure were lovely and helpful, and even prior to the stay when I called on the phone were very accommodating to needs. A brilliant addition was that their late checkout was up to 4pm the next day which meant we did not have to rush to leave the next morning like with other hotels. We stayed on the 4th floor and even though we were in the town centre there was very little noise disruption which was great. The room itself was lovely and cosy and the addition of the hairdryer and coffee & herbal teas was nice. A few flaws were just made from slight things that needed fixing. The air con did not seem to work nor the ability to adjust heating if needed, which did make the room a little uncomfortable. We were able to slide open the window to try and appease the problem. I would also say that the bathroom has little bits of wear and tear which shows the old nature of the building. The other small issue was that the lock mechanism built into the door itself did not work and therefore the door did slightly move open and shut when there was a breeze, but this was not a huge bother. However they did implement a chain lock so that there was a working lock on the door for safety and privacy. Overall it was a lovely stay for the purpose of a one night break and I think if these small areas were amended then it would be a more than satisfactory place to stay.

Dear Zara, Thank you for your thoughtful feedback regarding your recent stay at Mercure Bedford Centre Hotel. We are pleased to hear that you enjoyed our central location and appreciated our team\'s hospitality during your visit. We sincerely apologise for the inconvenience you experienced with the air conditioning and heating controls in your room. Your comfort is important to us, and we take your comments seriously. Additionally, we acknowledge your observations about the wear and tear in the bathroom and the door lock mechanism. While we aim to maintain our facilities to a high standard, we appreciate your understanding regarding the building\'s character. We are glad that our late checkout policy allowed you to enjoy a relaxed departure, and we hope to welcome you back in the future for another enjoyable stay. Your feedback is invaluable as it helps us improve our services. Kind regards, Denisa Lushi Front Office Manager
